Organisations are being challenged constantly to recruit diverse talent to address widening skills gaps. The UK is awash with talent, yet UK organisations are struggling to attract, recruit and retain this diverse pool. It’s clear that employers need a new approach to appeal to and retaining hard to reach diverse talent pools whether that’s women returning to work after maternity, apprentices who are new to the world of work or non-Russel Group graduates who dismiss them by default. But how do they do tap into these hard-to-reach talent pools like the long term unemployed or ex-offenders? Those who have worked out how to are those who are seeing immediate impact and results. What’s the secret to their success? Join us for an insightful session hosted by The 5% Club CEO Mark Cameron OBE, with insights from BT’s Head of Apprenticeships Richard Turner and Avado’s CEO Amy Crawford on the secret to recruiting and retaining diverse high-quality talent.
